UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs Saint Preux Fighter Purses, Attendance & Gate

 

Have we seen the last of Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua in the Octagon?  If so, he left the cage as the highest paid fighter in his last appearance.

Before we go any further, we should note that most international events don’t release fighter pay info, so none of the following salary data for the event is official.  However, you can get a fairly accurate picture of a fighter’s pay based on official purse info released from past fights (and from future fights – we go back and update these numbers as more info becomes available).  So, based on that info, here is the estimated pay breakdown for the 22 fighters that traded blows (including Ian McCall and John Lineker, who got paid their show money despite their fight being cancelled) at the event (but please remember – this is only an estimate, not official info, especially for any fighters that made their UFC debuts at the event).
